I have seen that as well. They also don't have to pay them as much as teachers with experience, unfortunately.
That is unfortunate
The newbies are more likely to be loyal at the place that gave them their first opportunity. And after 5 years the principal will be leaving as well. I wonder how many of us got hired the same way?
Agreed…. I stayed loyal for 13 years as the ship went down. Never again
I see this all the time. It is probably going to happen to me. I kinda don’t do all the meetings and trainings etc. well our new principal isn’t having it. They don’t outright say it, but many of us- the older, experienced teachers are aware of what is going on.

If I had to guess, she is cheaper which is not always better. I was passed over because I had 20 years in vs someone just out of college. They got the job and quit a month in. You get what you pay for.

Probably more economic than anything else.
A first year salary is a lot cheaper.

This is where I land as well. If you don't need the experience then its much cheaper to hire someone at the first year rate.
This is something I've seen as well. Schools want to hire brand new teachers they can form into what they want. It's really disheartening because it's detrimental for everyone
They might do that for two reasons. First, the newer the teacher, the cheaper. Second, she/he may not be aware of the very attrition rate for new teachers.
Many teachers are unable to transfer out of their districts due LEA compliance laws. This leaves not many teachers available. If they are available, the principals may see or hear discrimination and will hire for the best interest of the children.
Everyone needs to begin somewhere and there are plusses to hiring newbies, the biggest is that they'll learn the way management wants things done (whether that's good or bad).
That said, if she is just simply not willing to look at/consider any experienced teachers, that is a discrimination problem. But everyone gets to weigh what skills or experiences levels are most important. Having no prior experience can be appealing just as having experience can be desired.
Yep, I've seen this done by new principals before. Sometimes, it seems more out of fear that veteran teachers who worked under a previous prinipal could be viewed as unreceptive to changes or reluctant to accept a new authority figure. I've seen principals also hire only 1st timers whose degrees are from the college they attended, or their sorority,...etc. they only keep one or two veteran teachers. This to me is poor people management practices. I've never seen it work out well.
